S4 EP 14 Stop saying sorry when you're not

S4 EP 14 Stop saying sorry when you're not

This week we delve deep into the word "sorry" 

What is your relationship with the word itself? Do you only use it when you mean it? or does it come flying out your mouth when it doesn't really need to? 

My guest (Lissy Puig) and I explore how we overuse it and why we say it without even thinking. 

What are we really apologising for?

S4 EP 12 Resilient Thinking

S4 EP 12 Resilient Thinking

As we hit week 6 of lockdown, all our resources are wearing a bit thin, so what better to explore this week, than "resilience", what it is, why it's important and how the hell to have some!!

I  am joined by resilience expert Danny Simmonds who is hilarious and candid in her approach. 

Danny gives us some unforgettable analogy's to take away and (if that wasn't enough) I admit to some very personal, VERY relatable thought processes, which were totally unhelpful and the absolute opposite of resilient! 

Thank goodness Danny came on the show today to sort my head out as I'm not sure my family could take much more of me :)

You know the voice! That is why I brought in the heavyweight today to help you and me shut this voice up! Jo Kaye is a mindfulness expert and teacher and she gives us tools and practices to stop this horrid voice

Marina coaches me (you'll hear how powerful it is) on what I truly want for my lifestyle and the results are amazing.
